Leoshi Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 After spending two days painting my house, I have to ask something. Will we have an event/adventure where we renovate our college dorm and causing chaos on the way? And a more important question, will students be allowed to use a staff instead of a wand? I want a staff. It's practical and makes a mage look good. And from the answer you gave to Mikka concerning Catherine's eyes. Freaky by the way. How tough is it to maintain a spell like that? Or does she use another way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikka Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Two Mordivus questions. In their collage only questlines, you can get two 'new' students in to the Academagia. The girl who was trapped in the garden and listed as dead by her deranged copying professor, and the girl who can turn objects in to gold from the 'coffee' store. What grades do they join? ...I don't know why I suddenly wondered about them, but I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadHatt Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Goblins...what are they closer to: the Avila buys adventure, the market goblins, the Captain's quest goblins or the Godina "collect money and wreck ships" adventure? Each has a different portrayal which may answer for the different clans but they're a bit too distinct to actually point out characteristics. How likely would it be to meet a King/Emperor if Auncish?

Legate of Mineta Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Leo; "After spending two days painting my house, I have to ask something. Will we have an event/adventure where we renovate our college dorm and causing chaos on the way?" It's a great idea for an Event, definitely- I'll mention that to the Team. "And a more important question, will students be allowed to use a staff instead of a wand? I want a staff. It's practical and makes a mage look good." A wand is much, much easier to cast Spells with, but some mages do use staves. I imagine at some point you'll have that option. "And from the answer you gave to Mikka concerning Catherine's eyes. Freaky by the way. How tough is it to maintain a spell like that? Or does she use another way?" She probably does not maintain it herself, and probably uses enchanted Items to accomplish the effect. Mikka; Good question- I'm not sure. Probably a higher year than yourself, though! Hatt; "Goblins...what are they closer to: the Avila buys adventure, the market goblins, the Captain's quest goblins or the Godina "collect money and wreck ships" adventure? Each has a different portrayal which may answer for the different clans but they're a bit too distinct to actually point out characteristics." As you have seen there are several different cultures of Goblins in Elumia. You'll see a few more in Y2, I would suspect. It's probably more helpful if you think of them as distinct races, actually. "How likely would it be to meet a King/Emperor if Auncish?" If you were an Auncish noble, the odds are quite good to meet your King. If you aren't noble...well, you might catch a glimpse of him one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 @madHat so you think Goblins have a steroetype and are not as broad as humans? For me it looks very much like that many of the nonhuman races have (nearly) the full spectrum of human stereotypes. To me it looks only that the humans set them self above the other races with the right of the stronger / more agressive after the dragons apear to be no more of a danger.

MadHatt Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 @Schwarzbart I think that Goblins are forced to grow around humans, like in the market or the Avila adventure, which would make them more stereotypical in either their distaste for humans and their actions or in their open-mindedness. For example, Pale Luck was almost turned aside from eating in the same place as humans. I imagine that's a common reaction. I was trying to pin-point the likeliest reaction one would get from different goblins, seeing as we meet them often enough. And yes, humans have the tendency to think themselves the superior species. I'm hoping for a dragon return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Have dragons always been around humans in this setting, or was there a time when the humans weren't aware of them? (in elumia at least.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Free; There are some Lores covering this, but yes, Dragons have been around longer than humans in fact... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 yeah, now that you mention it, I think I may have read something like that, once maybe. But I can't help it, I'm scraping the bottom of the questions barrel for ones I haven't asked yet because I love asking questions. ... ... ...Has this setting even experienced a fad trend on the level of tulip-mania?

freespace2dotcom Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 ... Um..? What is required to attune a wand to a pillar? is it mostly the material the wand is made of? or are there other things involved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Material, predominantly. There are also some enchantments you can use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyx Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 This has probably been asked before, but how much control do we have over our spell, in particular in revision? Can first year turn choose what material and shape the object he is revising will have, or does he have to learn a new spell for each option? Also if it is theoretically possible to negate Death, could one change similiar things via revision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Cyx; At a first year level, it's very difficult to control a Revision Spell outside of a known framework. You'd almost certainly need a new Spell, unless you don't mind accidents. You can, like Negation, make someone young again, but the problem is Duration. It is incredibly difficult to do this as more than a parlor trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyx Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 How would a first year magic his clothes clean then? A special spell for every stain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Ah, no- I thought you meant to change one material into another. For something like cleaning, you are separating out something from an ideal. In this case, the ideal of your worked fiber's 'clean' state. Technically, you would need a different Spell for each piece of clothing you own, but since you want something to be generally clean, some minor errors are fine.

freespace2dotcom Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 So... Cleaning via magic (Revision) would still be limited to it's duration though? ..Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 No, because you are not changing anything, you are just separating things. If you Revised your your desk to mud, it would eventually revert back. If you revised all the dust off your desk, nothing would happen at the end of your Spell, apart from the ability of new dust to settle there.

Schwarzbart Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 So a combination of Revision and Incantion would be the best to get the dirt away? Revision to get the hard to remove dirt/stains away and Incantation to blow it all out of the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freespace2dotcom Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 hahaha! hmmm. So, then I have a question about this revelation. Now, I realize that because of the setting it's probably impossible to do because of a lack of knowledge, but... If you could use a revision spell to, say, separate a fruit from the bacteria that causes rotting... Then once the duration is over... It wouldn't be a rotting mess? In theory that should work, yes?

Cyx Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Weren't ideals part of advanced Glamours? What are they exactly and how does one work them into spells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Free; No, that would slow rot (by eliminating putrefaction), but would not stop it. Cyx; Ideals are actually a part of every Pillar, it's just that Glamour deals with them in a more advanced way. An Ideal is the theoretical existence of a perfect thing. Whenever you Revise something, you are Revising to an Ideal. The same is true of Incantation, and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Are ideals interchangable through the pillars? or at least are some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
